Taylor Sheridan’s slate just keeps growing, and now the prolific writer behind Landman and Yellowstone is adding one of gaming’s biggest franchises to the list. Sheridan is attached to co-write and produce Paramount Pictures’ upcoming live-action Call of Duty movie alongside director Peter Berg, with the adaptation officially set for a theatrical release on June 30, 2028. The pair are also helping shape the film’s creative direction, aiming for a grounded military story that stays true to the blockbuster video game series.
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, <a href="https://comicvibe.com/nbc-universal-<a href="https://comicvibe.com/blackfalds-summer-culture-series-returns-with-free-family-entertainment/” title=”Blackfalds Summer Culture series returns with free family entertainment”>entertainment-japan-brings-suikoden-murcielago-and-more-to-anime-expo-2026-with-new-trailers-and-anime-updates/” title=”NBC Universal Entertainment Japan Brings Suikoden, Murciélago, and More to Anime Expo 2026 With New Trailers and Anime Updates”>Entertainment Weekly notes that the project is expected to center on elite special forces rather than adapt a single game outright. The screenplay is being Berg, and Zay Bond, with David Glasser joining the producing team
Paramount and Activision are also treating the movie as a possible starting point for more Call of Duty projects if it connects with audiences
The collaboration reunites Sheridan and Berg after their work on Hell or High Water, the Oscar-nominated crime drama Sheridan wrote that Berg helped produce. Berg also brings military-action credentials from films including Lone Survivor, while Sheridan’s résumé stretches from Sicario and Wind River to television hits like Landman, Tulsa King, Lioness, and the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe
The Call of Duty franchise, meanwhile, has sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, making it one of the most commercially successful video game series ever created
Speaking during CinemaCon earlier this year, Activision president and producer Rob Kostich explained the team’s creative approach. “We want to make sure that the authenticity of it is captured on a human level so that it feels really real and infuse that with epic scope,” he said while discussing the adaptation’s vision
The Call of Duty announcement comes as Sheridan continues to oversee one of Hollywood’s busiest development slates. New seasons of Landman, Lioness, The Madison, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Marshals, and Dutton Ranch are all in various stages of production, while additional Yellowstone projects, including1944and6666, remain in development
On the film side, Sheridan is also attached to the action thriller F.A.S.T., starring Brandon Sklenar, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters in April 2027
